Welcome once again to Transformation Thursday! It's the one day a week we come together to celebrate getting things done! No matter if this is your first time to join or if you've been here each and every week, everyone is welcome to join in with MckLinky below!
This week we're trying to see what we can do for $5 or less.
If your project went over, that's alright... mine did, too!
I only went over by $2 though! I went to Goodwill and found this table for $6.99. Yeah, I went over just a tad. Well.... nobody's perfect! This sweet little old school desk was totally worth it.
I didn't know I needed a new table, but when I found it, I knew exactly where it would go. Oddly enough, the table that I had in the space was also an old school table, bought at a teacher's yard sale a couple of years ago. I love this table, but it just wasn't quite right.
The chippy paint on the old table rubbed off on the wall, so I put a line of painter's tape on the back edge to protect the wall. I ♥ chippy paint!
Even though I typically only use tan, cream and aqua, this shot of red really adds something to the space. (Can you tell I watch a lot of NCIS? Dinozzo is my favorite!)
Add a few accessories that I already owned, and I got a whole new look for $7. Notice the little spots were books originally went? Perfect for decorating books and magazines.
*My wall color is "Serendipity" by Porter Paints - I always get that question*
So did you stay on budget? If you forgot, it's ok. Just show us whatever you have. Make sure to put your PERMALINK and PLEASE link back here so everyone can find the great ideas!
Wellllll... you know the drill!
Girl that is gorgeous!!! And I am pretty sure we were seperated at birth -- I love NCIS too!!
ReplyDeleteLove the table! I have some antique lanterns, now I know exactly what to do with them.

That table is so pretty. The pop of red is so nice. :-)
ReplyDeleteI love that table, what a great find! I love NCIS too! One of the few shows I watch, but I need my weekly dose of Dinozzo.

ReplyDeletehi i'm heather, and i'm here to join the dinozzo/ncis fan club :)
ReplyDeleteThat table is perfect there, and what a bargain! I love the red against the blue walls.
ReplyDeleteI tried to keep it cheap, but those muffin pans are way expensive! Mine ended up being $16, but at least I will be able to reuse the pan. :D
ReplyDeleteI just love your new one! How handy and darling it is!
ReplyDeleteGreat find at a great price. Looks just fab!
ReplyDeleteI love the new little table! and two dollars over is totally acceptable!

ReplyDeleteUm - who doesn't love NCIS. Yeah. Abby is my fave.
ReplyDeleteI'm adoring that table & how you've displayed on it too! Very, very pretty!
ReplyDeleteLove the table! The red really pops against the blue wall. I too love NCIS! I even watch the old ones they show on USA (drives the husband crazy :P). It's like I tell him, I have to have my daily Gibbs fix :)
ReplyDeleteAhhh that looks great! I love the red next to the blue wall! Oh and the suitcases in front too cute. I’ve been on the hunt for some antique suitcases or something that resembles them for sometime but haven’t come across anything thing....yet.
ReplyDeleteThanks for hosting!!

It's kind of funny that you taped edges to keep the chippy-ness :). It looks great, red was a good choice.

Red is my favotire color of all time, but I'm too afraid to do anything bold like that in my home! You've inspired me. I love it.
